Background
Blood transfusions carry the risk of transmitting blood-borne infections. In contrast to the situation in the developed world, there is a limited number of studies examining this problem in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study we aimed to calculate the risks of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection from units of blood issued by the Gabonese Blood Transfusion Centre between 2009 and 2011.Materials and methods
All the donations were tested for infectious diseases and the seroconversion incidence rates of HIV, HBV and HCV were calculated. The residual risk of transfusion-associated transmission for each virus was calculated by multiplying the seroconversion rates by the window period expressed in fractions of a year.Results
The risks of becoming infected with HIV, HCV, and HBV in subjects receiving units of blood from the Gabonese Blood Transfusion Centre were 64.7, 207.94 and 534.53 per million donations, respectively.Conclusions
This study, which is the first to quantify the true risks of transfusion-transmitted infections in Gabon, reveals and confirms the need to reinforce preventative and screening strategies to improve transfusion safety in sub-Saharan Africa. 相似文献44.

summary . The objectives of the study were to describe the introduction of testing blood donations for antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic virus (anti-HTLV) and to determine the risk of HTLV potentially infectious donations entering the UK blood supply. The rationale for testing was based on (i) evidence of transmission through transfusion in the UK, (ii) the serious nature of HTLV I-associated morbidity and (iii) evidence of infection in UK blood donors. From mid-2002, all blood donations made at UK blood centres were tested in pooled samples using Abbott-Murex HTLV I/II GE 80/81 enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Surveillance data were used to calculate the incidence and prevalence of anti-HTLV and derive estimates of risk. Between August 2002 and December 2006, 106 donations were confirmed positive for anti-HTLV (95 anti-HTLV I and 11 anti-HTLV II). Prevalence was 10-fold higher among donations from new donors than repeat (4·0 and 0·42 per 100 000 donations), and only one repeat donor had evidence of seroconversion. The risk of an HTLV I potentially infectious donation entering the UK blood supply was estimated at 0·11 per million donations (95% confidence interval 0·06 to 0·18). The current very low observed incidence and prevalence among blood donors reflect the very low estimated risk of an HTLV I-positive donation entering the UK blood supply. A change in either the epidemiology of HTLV in UK blood donors or the length of the window period of the test should prompt further review of the risk and a reassessment of anti-HTLV testing in the UK. 相似文献

Longitudinal monitoring of WBC subsets in packed RBC units after filtration: implications for transfusion transmission of infections 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Specific subsets of peripheral blood WBCs are reservoirs for infectious agents, such as CMV and EBV, and can serve as vectors for transfusion transmission of these agents. While filter WBC reduction has been used to prevent transfusion transmission of infections, its effectiveness has not been documented for many infectious agents and in some instances may be difficult to demonstrate in clinical trials. Because the effectiveness of filtration depends on the number of infected WBCs remaining at transfusion, WBC subpopulations in packed RBC units were quantitated after filtration and storage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Packed RBC units (n = 14) were filtered and stored at 4(o)C for 42 days or were stored without filtration. Serial samples were subjected to flow cytometric immunophenotyping of WBC subsets: neutrophils, monocytes, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, B cells, and NK cells. RESULTS: Filtration produced a mean reduction in total WBCs of 3.2 log. Monocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils were reduced by 4.1, 3.8, and 2.5 log, respectively. Lymphocyte subsets also demonstrated differential reduction with filtration. All WBC subsets showed ongoing loss during storage. CONCLUSIONS: Monocyte and lymphocyte subsets are removed most effectively by prestorage filtration. Postfiltration storage leads to further significant reductions in WBC subsets. The implications of these findings for the mitigation of transfusion transmission of infection are discussed. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: To understand the risk of transfusion-transmitted viral infection, it is important to precisely assess cases of infection that follow transfusion. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: HBV infections noted after transfusion in 1997, 1998, and 1999 were analyzed. Transfusion in all these cases was performed before NAT was adopted for donor screening. To detect viral infection, PCR and serologic tests for HBV were performed retrospectively on all blood samples from implicated donors that had been stored in a frozen state after each donation. The concentration of HBV genome was measured in HBV-positive blood samples. RESULTS: One hundred three cases of HBV infection were analyzed; of these, only 16, including at least 10 infections due to window-period (HBsAg-positive by reverse particle hemagglutination assay) donations, were confirmed by further testing to be related to transfusion. The concentrations of HBV genome were very low in four blood samples (<50, 400, 500, and 800 genome equivalents/mL of plasma). CONCLUSIONS: The remaining risk of transfusion transmission of HBV infection before the adoption of NAT was mainly due to window-period donations, including one that was made before the HBV genome was detectable by PCR. However, it was determined that transfusion was not responsible in many cases for HBV infection after transfusion. 相似文献

Ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are emerging tickborne diseases that can also be transmitted through blood transfusions or organ transplants. Since 2000, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis cases in the United States have increased substantially, resulting in potential risk to transplant and transfusion recipients. We reviewed ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis cases among blood transfusion and solid organ transplant recipients in the United States from peer-reviewed literature and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigations. We identified 132 cases during 1997–2020, 12 transfusion-associated cases and 120 cases in transplant recipients; 8 cases were donor-derived, and in 13 cases illness occurred <1 year after transplant. Disease in the remaining 99 cases occurred ≥1 year after transplant, suggesting donor-derived disease was unlikely. Severe illness or death were reported among 15 transfusion and transplant recipients. Clinicians should be alert for these possible infections among transfusion and transplant recipients to prevent severe complications or death by quickly treating them. 相似文献
